A. On strike money.
Q. But does all the strike money go to the maintenance of the hearth and the home?
A. Of course not, for a good share of it is wanted for the baccy-shop and the public-house.
Q. But if strikes continue will not trade suffer?
A. Very likely, but trade represents the masters.
Q. And if trade is driven away from the country will it come back?
A. Most likely not, but that is a matter for the future.
Q. But is not the future of equal importance to the present?
A. Not at all, for a day's thought is quite enough for a day's work.
Q. Then a strike represents either nothing or idleness?
